Burgruine Herrenbröl, Medieval castle ruin in Ruppichteroth, Germany
The remains include a seven-meter tower, a 23-meter surrounding wall, and a vaulted cellar constructed from quarry stone materials.
First documented on October 8, 1417, the castle was connected to goods and rights associated with the parish of Eitorf in medieval times.
The von Scheidt family constructed sections of the castle during the 15th century, establishing their presence in the regional nobility network.
Two hiking routes lead to the ruins: a 7.19-kilometer Brölbahn loop from Herrenbröl and a 7.11-kilometer loop from Ruppichteroth.
The castle remains sit in a valley floor within Naturpark Bergisches Land, featuring a 13th-century fountain among its architectural elements.
